30 year old company with startup problems - werkgeversreview Sales bij MPLC

Hi, It’s Rory here, CEO at MPLC. Thanks for your review and clearly things didn’t work out the way either of us would have wanted during your time with us. I’m sorry you didn’t feel able to speak to me or one of the leadership team before you left. I work hard to be approachable and I would have been happy to listen to how you were feeling and to share some context and perspective which may have been helpful. In terms of your idea that we lie to customers I must take my opportunity to state that is simply incorrect. MPLC has been a partner to major Hollywood studios for over 30 years. We make sure they receive the royalties they are due when companies use their movies and content in public. The idea that we or our rightsholders are lying is quite an assertion and simply not correct. Major organisations around the world, including global corporations, government bodies and many well known brands purchase the MPLC licence. We work with their legal departments on almost every sale, so the legal framework which we operate in has been tested and checked literally hundreds of times. B2B sales is always a long cycle and ours at 3-9 months is not long at all compared to many. B2C sales can often have shorter cycles which may be something to explore for your next role. And in terms of your headline - to be honest I hope we always retain some of our start-up energy, however old we get. I think the key to success in life and business is staying hungry, adaptable and ambitious. That being said, I really am sorry it didn't work out how we would all have wanted it and wish you the very best in whatever you do next Rory
